Customer Reviews

The Tie should be reissued

I found a copy of The Tie: trends & traditions in a second-hand bookshop and read it in one sitting. It contains about 50,000 words and every one of them is gripping. It's Longditude for neckwear. Why on earth isn't it reissued? It is a classic.

Brilliant analysis of neckwear

This costume history book is unlikely to be equalled. Sarah Gibbings has done an outstanding job of recording the history of a small but often vital part of a man's attire. If you can beg, borrow or steal a copy, do so. If potential publishers read this, buy the rights immediately. They will have a best-seller on their hands.
